Scamp I paid QR4200 for my 5 as it was one of the 1st within weeks they were 3500 and it really pissed me off. Give it a couple of months for the price to drop.

Definitely. When it's released here I'll buy it online from Apple. All the stores are more expensive and although it will hurt, I can wait a day or two for delivery.

Surely it should be under warranty? Where are you taking it for checking?

Apple store in Lagoona Mall - 0 interest and fobbed off to Vodafone in Villagio.

Can see that being a pain as I threw the box and receipt away as soon as I turned the phone on though the fact its been released less than a year should in any sane country get over that issue.....................

So they are!

Can't close the ones I don't want open though, it's as if the phone wants to run them all, all the time. Battery life will get even worse and performance will slow too.

Sigh.

Not possible for another 4 weeks though with the holiday jobby. Biting the bullet and going mental in Villagio tomorrow to get it sorted.
